About Cambridge (UK)
Cambridge is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and
successful high-technology regions in the UK and the EU. The
existing literature suggests that in such dynamic and successful
agglomerations of firms vibrant knowledge flows are going on. Therefore,
Cambridge represents an ideal case for critically investigating these
theoretical assumptions to see whether this is actually the case.
Information technology (IT) in Cambridge
A focus on IT (hardware and software) makes sense since it is the largest sector in
terms of number of innovation-based businesses in the Cambridge
region (The Library House 2004) and therefore constitutes the
dominant sector of the ‘Cambridge phenomenon’.
